The easier question would be what isn't good here. The place screams fantastic! My Wife and decided to go here during Final Four weekend and was it crowded . Great food and service!

Taylor S

Incredible grilled cheese . Was lucky to sit at the bar in front of kitchen. Watched preparation of all the food.. These chefs have it down to a science. Really incredible. Loved the interior decor too

Eater

Dishes, like savory puffed Dutch baby pancakes with roasted broccoli , aged cheddar , beer mustard , and pickled fennel , have the kind of punchy, finessed flavors you’d expect at dinnertime. Read more

Chris Smith

Seasonal dutch baby pancakes are always great. Grits are outstanding, as is the thick cut bacon . That being said, I like to try something new every time I go.

Erik Rowley

Milktooth is a great example of farm to table restaurants popping up all over Midwestern cities . Highly recommend the roasted broccoli Dutch baby pancake . Excellent coffee and hipster vibes .

Maria Alviz

Its ever-changing menu features local ingredients and every single dish is made to perfection. They do not take reservations , but the wait is well worth it!

Jen

roasted asparagus & hollandaise dutch baby + ham and the carrot cake waffle , plus bacon . Omg yes!

Cole T

Deserving of its accolades, this gem cooks up unique and rotating meals such as Dutch baby pancakes , Red Appalachian corn grits , Indiana Hot Chicken Wings — and pastries & coffee to boot.

Alex Hunter

Lots of flavors happening here, would recommend sharing plates with friends. My big takeaway was some drink they had with coconut in it. It was insanely good. I haven’t stopped thinking about it.

Andrew Furman

The restaurant does brunch daily—opens at 7am for coffee , passes out menus at 9am, and closes at three—inside a rehabbed garage . It’s bright and open; looks like it was decorated by a thrifter.

Pink raincoat cocktail and Golden Milk cocktails are practically flawless. The Dutch baby pancakes , savory and seasonal Fresh strawberry , are delicious!

Todd Alexander

Amazing. Lived up to the hype. The coffee situation is a little pretentious but the food was awesome. I had the wings for breakfast and had no second thoughts.

Kayla Johnson

Loved the emphasis on GOOD coffee and the effort/heart put into everything here. Great food and space.

Ricky Sherrill

Be sure to try their bacon . You should also consider ordering an extra side of bacon for the table. Your guests will thank you.

Elizabeth Burstein

The grilled cheese with black truffle honey and spice coffee cocktail were bomb!!!

Bon

Cheddar broccoli Dutch baby was good but overall menu is all over the place, not merely electic. The lack of menu mods could make dining with a large group difficult. Come with open palate eaters.

Neelam Patel

The Dutch pancake is to die for! Everything is so good and different. It's hard to think that this exists in Indy!

Yum! I just savored the City Ham Baby Pancake and an iced mocha ! Delicious!

Kevin O'wings

Foods good service is bad. I am from Indianapolis my wife from California. I brought her here to my hometown on her birthday and we was told 30 mins. 55 mins later people who just walked up got set.

Todd Zaki Warfel

Espresso , pour over coffee , breakfast .

Jay Jameson

Love this place... I always visit when in Indy!

Seth Hamilton

Very cliche..they tried overly hard to create an image of a mismatched hipster who doesn't care, but at the end of the day..the food fell flat and lacked taste. The prices were exorbitant for the fare

Joe Shoemaker

Though technically a full-service restaurant , the coffee prep here is fantastic!

Rachel L

The Dutch baby was next level delicious

Suzanne Emery

Not a standard breakfast joint. Teeny tiny plates. And they state that they will "politely decline modifications (to the menu)" which seems a little pretentious to me.

Frances Berriman

The Dutch baby pancakes are kind of dry. Coffee was nice.

Dawn DeVirgilio

Three words: Chicken . Biscuits . Gravy .

Erik Rowley

Don't lick the wallpaper, this ain't Willy Wonka, the schnozberries will taste like stale parchment and old coffee stains.

Adrienne Wright

I like the vibe here.

Viry Mendez

Grilled cheese was unique????????
